Buy bitcoin with PayPal

Use PayPal to get bitcoin gift cards via mail

How can I buy bitcoins with PayPal?

First, we are only allowed to offer PayPal payments for bitcoin gift card orders which are shipped via postal mail to your specified home or business address. (Go here if you want to buy bitcoins directly.)

Buying bitcoins with PayPal is easy:

Order: Select the amount and number of gift cards you want, enter your name and address and select PayPal as the payment method in the form above. Make sure your address is correct, otherwise you will not be able to receive the Bitcoin gift cards.

Pay via PayPal: You will be directed to PayPal's regular payment page, where you complete the payment.

Receive gift cards: Once the payment is approved by PayPal, we ship your Bitcoin gift card order, in most cases on the same day. Depending on the speed of your postal service, you will typically receive the Bitcoin gift cards within 1-3 days.

How do I use the bitcoin gift card once I receive it?

Using the gift card is super simple and only takes two steps:

Activate the cards. For security reasons, we ship all bitcoin gift cards in a non-activated state, so that there is no money loss when the shipment gets stolen or lost. To activate, just click a link we send you via email, and enter the last 4 digits of the card's serial number. (It is really easy, we explain it again in detail after your purchase)

Redeem it to get your bitcoins. Once bitcoin gift cards are activated, you can redeem them any time by going to redeem bitcoins. For this, you need a bitcoin wallet. If you do not have a wallet yet, you can get a free wallet at bitcoin.org. (Note: Do not use Bitcoin Core, this wallet is a bit too complicated).

You will receive your bitcoins in your wallet within 1h after redeeming, usually a lot faster.

First of all, we're sorry — this shouldn't happen. Second, don't worry! We ship all cards in a non-activated state, so no money is lost. If you do not receive your gift card after 1 week, please send us an email to support@bit4coin.net. We can then either cancel the order and give you a full refund, or re-send the gift cards.

The limit per order is €500. You can decide yourself how to reach the limit, for example 5x €100, or 20x €25, or any other combination of cards. Regarding fees, unfortunately, PayPal fees are quite high, and in addition we need to pay for (global) shipping, printing the cards, and handling.
